Volume 1 and 2 cover the General section; Volumes 3 to 7 cover Civil and Industrial Buildings; the subsequent volumes focus on Architectural Structures. The writing style remains primarily visual and tabular, supplemented by concise text. This is Volume 4. The newly revised "Architectural Design Data Collection" has the following characteristics: First, it is more systematic and comprehensive, covering all professional knowledge related to architectural design. It encompasses various fields of architectural design across history and cultures; it not only has a close and integrated relationship with disciplines such as water supply, heating, electricity, sanitation, architectural structures, and architectural economics but also involves numerous knowledge areas such as philosophy, aesthetics, sociology, ergonomics, behavioral and environmental psychology, and more. Second, during this revision, except for a few retained from the original version, most content has been significantly updated or supplemented. New additions include: Morphological Composition; Landscape Gardening; Environmental Features; Urban Squares; Ancient Chinese Architecture; Folk Dwellings; Architectural Decoration; Interior Design; Barrier-Free Design; Commercial Streets; Metro Systems; Rural Residential Buildings; Courthouses; Banks; Computer Rooms; Solar Applications, etc. Additionally, the technical parameters, quota indicators, and design principles listed for various types of buildings in the new edition are selected from updated design codes, and all design examples are comprehensively revised, making this large-scale tool more practical. Third, the writing system features clear categorization and convenient reference. The general and universal sections are compiled in Volumes 1 and 2, while the other volumes focus on specific types of civil buildings, industrial buildings, and architectural structures. Fourth, the new edition's cover design and layout arrangement maintain the unique style of the original version, ensuring the continuity of this large-scale reference book, while the paper materials and printing technology are more refined than the original version.
